The IDF spokesperson’s Unit is checking reports of a projectile falling in Israel’s Golan Heights after the Syrian regime said it downed “hostile targets” over the southern part of the country on Thursday night.

“Air defense intercepts hostile targets over al-Kiswah and downed them,” a military source was quoted as saying by SANA.

According to local reports the downed targets were Israeli missiles which were targeting positions of Iranian proxy militias in southern Syria.

Israeli officials have repeatedly voiced concerns over the growing Iranian presence on its borders and the smuggling of sophisticated weaponry to Hezbollah from Tehran to Lebanon via Syria, stressing that both are red-lines for the Jewish State.

With the presence of Iranian and Hezbollah forces, Israel’s northern front has become the IDF’s number one priority. Working to prevent the entrenchment of Iranian forces and the transfer of advanced weaponry to Hezbollah, the Israel Air Force has admitted to carrying out hundreds of airstrike in Syria.

While Russia has recently provided the S-300 advanced anti-aircraft missile batteries to the Syrian regime, Israel has said that it will continue to operate in the war-torn country as long as Iran remains.

Russia delivered the launcher, radar and command and control vehicle of the advanced air-to-surface missile system to Syria in early October as a response to the downing of a Russian reconnaissance plane by Syrian air defenses during an Israeli airstrike on Iranian targets the previous month.

The system was deployed to Masyaf in northwestern Syria and is not believed to be operational yet.

Moscow said it would also impose electronic countermeasures over Syria’s coastline to suppress satellite navigation, onboard radar systems and communications of warplanes attacking targets on Syrian territory.

In May Israeli airstrikes targeted Iranian targets belonging to Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp’s Quds Force and included intelligence sites, logistics headquarters, a military compound and logistics complex in Kiswah, weapons storage sites belonging at Damascus International Airport, intelligence systems and installations, as well as observation, military posts and military hardware in the buffer zone.

According to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights at least 11 Iranians were among the 46 killed in Israel’s strikes which were in retaliation after 20 rockets were fired towards Israel’s front defensive line in the Golan Heights by the Quds Force.

In a report published on The American Interest news site, one of the targets struck included the “Glasshouse” facility at the Damascus International Airport was used by the IRGC as it’s headquarters under the command of General Hussein Kaani to supervise operations closer to the border with Israel.

Too bad Obama tipped off Israel’s enemies earlier. The threat would have been reduced.

This was a big hit on Syria
– both militarily and diplomatically
– it is the logical outcome of the split
– between Bibi and Israeli defense minister Avigdor Liberman
– Avigdor Liberman wanted a muscular response to Hamas provocations
– so he quit, and Bibi is now doing a military – diplomatic mix
– against Iran and all their tentacles
– to block Syria-Iran collusion, Hezbollah in Lebanon
– and the funding/support for Hamas in Gaza
– with the intent of driving a wedge between Russia and Iran
– just when Iran is melting-down economically [~300% inflation]
– and Russia is also struggling economically and militarily [1 Ruble = 1.6 cents]

Comment on GLOW BULL WARMING recently released from the WH!
This was put together by OBAMA HOLDOVERS.
The Trump administration did not move fast enough to get rid of them.

Global Warming: Fake Science Again Serves Far-Left Political Agenda
11/26/2018

Global Warming: A new White House report, issued just last Friday, makes alarming projections about future global warming. Not only will it cost billions and billions in lost economic output, that report says, but thousands of lives as well. Time for mass panic? Nope. Just more fake science.

The new National Climate Assessment (NCA) report, the fourth since 2000, seems to suggest a coming climate disaster, to paraphrase the film comedy “Ghost Busters,” of “epic, even biblical proportions.” But its forecasts and models border on the absurd. At some point, the scientific malpractice in these global warming scare reports has to end.

Some of the projections sound like something kicked around in a Hollywood brainstorming session for a science fiction thriller, and not like the results of sober scientific reasoning and balanced statistical modeling techniques. We shouldn’t be surprised, however. The three reports that preceded this one were equally bad.

By the way, that’s not us speaking, but actual climate scientists. They say the latest government climate change report does a disservice to Americans by once again politicizing science and ignoring both real data and history.

The report’s conclusions are so extreme as to be laughable. For one, it predicts that use of coal and other fossil fuels will destroy 10% of U.S. GDP by the end of the century. Those are nice projections, since none of those who made them will be alive to see them proven totally false.

The Virtue Of Fossil Fuels

The fact is, access to fossil fuels has been the key driver of global economic success since the industrial age began. Cheap, plentiful fossil fuels during the last 175 years led to the greatest economic surge in human history. Carbon-based fuels moved literally billions of people around the world out of lives of grinding poverty and hard physical labor and into unparalleled wealth and comfort.

Equally bad, the report suggests, is that due to the greenhouse gas effect, U.S. temperatures will be 3 to 12 degrees hotter, leading to more wildfires and hurricanes, among other climate-related disasters. Such extreme numbers have never been found before in a major peer-reviewed study.

Nor do they factor in the effects of the fracking revolution, which the reports authors pretend hasn’t happened. Yet, by getting utilities and others to switch to natural gas and away from dirtier fossil fuels, the natural gas boom has led to a record decline in U.S. CO2 emissions.

“By presenting cherry picked science … the authors … have given a big fat gift to anyone who wants to dismiss climate science and policy,” tweeted University of Colorado Prof. Roger Pielke Jr., right after the White House released the report. “Embarrassing.”

For the record, Pielke believes global warming is a problem. But he also believes that lying about the science behind it and exaggerating future impacts are even bigger problems.

‘Climate Busters’

The entire global warming “reporting” process is so heavily politicized, it doesn’t qualify as science. The group responsible for the report, the U.S. Global Change Research Program, is largely a creation of the Obama administration. Global warming true believers are its backbone. Indeed, parts of the report just released were written during the Obama years.

The point is, there are no real skeptics on board for this report and the three dating back to 2000 that preceded it. Just true believers. And the worst, least believable part of the White House report is based on research by organizations funded in part by global warming extremists and billionaires Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg.

In the case of the just released report, it was “written largely by the same team that wrote the 2014 Assessment, which NOAA advertised, at its release, was ‘a key deliverable of President Obama’s Climate Action Plan.’ ”

That pretty much reveals the fact that this is a political document, not a scientific one. It is riddled with ridiculous assumptions, bad models and extreme errors that could only be intentional. But, hey, if you’re intent is propaganda and not science, who really cares?

‘No Hard Evidence’

“The Fourth National Climate Assessment offers no hard evidence, just vague assertions and claims that past climate change is no evidence about future climate change,” wrote Dr. Ken Haapala, president of the Science and Environmental Policy Project. “It earns the distinction that it does not meet the standards of the Information Quality Act, and each page should be stamped: ‘Based on speculation, not hard evidence.’ ”

As we said, at some point the scientific malpractice of these government exercises in global warming propaganda has to end. This isn’t fake news. It’s fake science, which is just as dangerous.

The last report, in 2014, served as the pretext for President Obama to create both the Clean Power Plan and to sign on to the Paris Accords on global warming. President Trump dumped the Clean Power Plan and removed the U.S. from the Paris deal.

But this report is one area where President Trump didn’t move fast enough to get his own people in place. The media touted that the “White House ” produced the report. Sure, the Obama White House. And now, instead of having reliable, honest science about global warming, we get a bogus propaganda document. The authors mean to frighten Americans, not inform them.

Global Warming: Democrats’ Agenda
Don’t worry. The incoming House Democrats have a whole new agenda built around global warming. It’s nothing new. Back in 2016, the Democrats built into their platform a call to investigate — and presumably prosecute — businesses that didn’t buy into their extremist global warming beliefs. This is scary, Stalinist stuff.

In the name of global warming, Americans may soon find their liberties to make a living and provide for their families curbed. It will come in the form of burdensome carbon taxes, tough restrictions on home building, and strict limits on car size and fuels.

In short, it’s not the climate that the warmists wish to control. It’s you.

So don’t let these phony predictions of imminent climate doom made by government bureaucrats frighten you. Be angry instead.

Well written Felix. Just watched the evening news here in Australia and one of the articles was precisely about this subject. Would you believe they closed streets in Sydney today so that brainwashed school children could march protesting not enough was being done to stop climate change bullsh…… We all know it is rubbish. The climate has been changing for eons and will continue to do so.

You’re absolutely right about climate changing for eons and the lies we’re now being fed by bogus – or bought off scientists, anxious for grants to pay their salaries. Many year ago when BBC was still honest, I watched one of its documentaries on climate change. It showed in the middle Africa’s vast Sahara desert rock paintings of the then local scene in that area. There was a lake with reeds all round and wild animals of various kinds drinking along the shore. Today all round is sand and sand dunes. Some real climate change there! When Russian dissident, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, was in a Siberian slave labour camp he told of prisoners digging down into the permafrost, finding a mammoth and eating its flesh. Huge climate change occurred there. Satellites in space over the last 20 years have shown a very small increase in global warming from hydrocarbons. We are being lied to. That there is climate change is fact, but due to what is the question. The sun? The galaxy?

So Russia not only doesn’t mind the Iranian and Syrian muslum pigs firing rockets at Israel but is taking steps to protect the muslum pigs from retaliation or pre-emptive strikes?

I know, it looks bizarre
– but Russia and Israel actually have good relations
– as Middle East relations go
– millions of Israelis are Russian emigres [from the 1991 USSR meltdown]
– and Russia can trust Israel more than other ME countries
– but Russian ham-handed diplomacy over the aircraft shoot-down
– in which Russia foolishly threatens and entangles her best friends
– is normal for Russia
– because they don’t trust anybody

Whom do these actions protect and from who? I’d say muslums are being protected from Israel by Russian electronic countermeasures.

Yes, agreed
– the ostensible idea is that Russia wants to interfere with Israeli airstrikes
– on Russian targets
– but the Russians know very well that Israel has never targeted Russians
– and what Russia doesn’t know
– is that their countermeasures work badly, and using them around Israel
– just helps Israel figure out how to hack them
– which will make those countermeasures unmarketable to other customers
– as soon as Russia offers those countermeasures to an export customer
– Israel can offer to sell their countermeasure hacking systems
– to the enemies of the export customer

I’m glad Israel is doing live target practice from time to time to keep their skills up. Sorry they had to practice it on Mouslems. I wish they wouldn’t stand in the way. 😉

Iran has honestly meddled in other countries’ affairs for FAR too long. If Israel was interfering like this in Iraq or Afghanistan, with Iran’s neighbors, they would have attacked long ago.
